I love how Ethan’s mom reacted! The only and best way: “I love you!“

[@temporaladvisor3958]

Ethan's courage to come out publicly was great. But Emmy's response was awesome AF!!!

[@Zlnfgz]

I mean, did she have a choice...? Even if she didn't approve of it, she couldn't just put it out there in front of so many people... I am not anti LGBTQIA & whatever other shit.. but these kind of things need to be done in private... You can't put someone in the spot like that.. especially your parents... It's just wrong.. It's as bad as proposing in public.... I hate it...

[@laisalmeida5575]

@@Zlnfgz Ethan and his mom know each other and the entire game was a proof of that. She knew he kept his relationships secret and as she said herself, she kinda knew he was gay. He did it on public because he had an idea of how she would react and you know that from how light he looks as he says it. At the same time, you can see how happy she is that he's done it, she immediately smiles and her eyes are filled with tears and her only answer is "I love you". She could fake a good reaction if she wanted and nobody would know, but the fact that anyone could see how happy she was that he was out is what makes her reaction amazing.

[@temporaladvisor3958]

@@Zlnfgz I agree that putting someone on the spot is not a good idea for so many reasons, but I got the feeling Emmy knew.

[@MyDuncanandMe]

James was so happy and supportive for him that’s so sweet

[@kathryngal3]

That was a really beautiful moment - I only felt bad that mom Emmy wasn’t there in person to hug her son ❤️

[@cademancaden]

I truly think moms know when the "friend" is not just a friend ;)

[@EthanMKaiser]

HAHA you right

[@suhanisaxena7485]

Mom knows everything 😄

[@nkechietudo7325]

Obviously

[@teresitauy5532]

True .

[@octaviojordaodearaujo737]

Certainly

[@sheilaerice9636]

A special bravo to the older LGBTQ community who heroically fought so hard for years to pave the way for Ethan & others' to freely come out. "You come along way baby" Kudos.

[@jackcherbourg2899]

I came out at 14 and don't get why, in today's society, it still takes people so long to come out to loved ones. His mom is just as cool and accepting as mine has always been

[@Topaz_Estrella]

@@jackcherbourg2899 not all parts of society are as accepting as your family is. I moved across country to a safer place than where I grew up, and that was only 10 years ago.

[@zaraheart]

Mid 90s I was next door neighbors to a lesbian couple. They had already been married for a while. They would let us play in their yard, one of them tutored me in math(she was a teacher) for free. Now 25 years later, they are still married and now have a little girl who’s about 12(the one that tutored me carried the baby). We still hang out with them, they came to my baby shower even though we hadn’t seen them in 6 years. I never thought anything of it(I have a gay uncle who got married in the 90s) so I just thought they are a normal family, like any other family, just same sex couple. Talking to them now, they never had an issue being a “same sex” couple. They didn’t have a problem getting married(early 90s/late 80s), they didn’t have a problem having a baby etc. they are extremely successful. I’m happy for them and they are the best people I’ve ever met. It’s sad so many people struggle with this because there are a lot of gay couples who never had an issue with anything even in the 80s and 90s. You’d think people would be more open to it now since social media and the attention being brought to it. Anyways, just thought I’d share that little tidbit. There is nothing wrong with it and now more than ever is the time to show your true self.

[@giulia6344]

Well said.

[@Sekusamu]

I love the fact that he came out to his mother on broadcast television, and her response was "I kind of know".

[@txtom]

This was posted on my birthday. As a 66 year old gay man, I appreciate the twofer... a nice butt cheek and a heartwarming coming out. Thanks for the birthday present James.

[@mackiereyes7574]

Haahahaha

[@temsulong]

Ok...i was hooked on Sam's behind but Ethan's moment teared me up. So sweet. ❤️👍.

[@burnyizland]

WOW, Awesome! Also, from the 80s where people were shunned to this where a total stranger hugged him right after and his Mom is all supportive and so is the audience... it's just incredible. I'm proud of us! I never thought we'd get here from there.

[@an6350]

"do you think your mum has every altered her body in any way?" "no" tf her lips are about to explode lmao

[@christopherbedford9897]

Yeah she's a liar and Ethan's either in denial or one of those blissfully unaware males who thinks that look is "normal". And also doesn't notice when someone goes from _actually_ normal to that overdone mess she has. 🤦‍♂️ _people_ OK she made up for the blissful ignorance with her own denial of his sexuality. As if it wasn't obvious from the first word he spoke.

[@bilbomcbaggina4639]

Well, technically the question was whether or not she altered her body image way he didn’t know about. There’s no way he would miss that.

[@bilbomcbaggina4639]

At least that was the original question.

[@hks2377]

@@christopherbedford9897 She said she already thought he was gay. How is that denial?

[@christopherbedford9897]

@@hks2377 I knew someone was going to call me on this. I paused the video & posted when she made big eyes and looked shocked. Turned out she was just shocked he finally came out. Didn't feel like going back and chaning the post.

[@EthanMKaiser]

thank you for all your kind words loves! ❤️

[@raydanz]

Happy for you! You have a wonderful mom! 😊

[@a.c.2742]

Bravo! Ethan and Emmy, you two are precious! ❤️❤️ Way to go Ethan! Mama luvs you!

[@katherinewong2901]

Well that was a game changer! Proud of all of them!!!

[@hutch1197]

I knew Ethan was gay from "This is Ethan". And I'm sure his Mom knew, too. But the sweet part was that she was overcome with emotion that he finally felt he could tell her the truth. What a sweet moment.

[@EM-cs7jw]

Christina and Sam both really made me laugh LMFAO 💀

[@NiVi192]

Both these moms are total mother goals!

[@danielchicoine7394]

Two remarkable moms!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Hockeykid6767]

I knew Ethan for 2 mins and I knew how was his mom surprised😂

[@TheCocus74]

She wasn’t surprised. She said “I think I kind of know son”. How is that surprise? At least not at the information, just maybe more that he announced it on the show?

[@rikkiechambers4959]

Annnd you made me bawl James .. how sweet was that on both sides really .. but congratulations what a sweet young man .

[@GodsMemeTV]

“We tell each other everything”….. and lost game 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@giantsfan9868]

After reading all the comments, I wonder, I just wonder, if James learned that Ethan wanted to “come out” for/to his mom… so James concocted this game segment, with the two mother/son contestants, for just this purpose. Love to all 🌈 😘🥰

[@cameronfetter3413]

that’s exactly what happened lol

[@shays.9874]

This segment has been around for a long time but I do think he picked Ethan for this round

[@feelthejoy]

I mean within 2 sec of him speaking I knew he was gay so I feel like it was a pretty safe outing lol. Cute nonetheless tho
